<span>Balloons are blown up, and then rubbed against your shirt many times. The balloon then touches the ceiling. When released, the balloon remains stuck to the ceiling. The balloon is charged by contact. The ceiling has a neutral charge. The charged balloon induces a slight surface charge on the ceiling opposite to the charge on the balloon. Balloon and ceiling electric charges are opposite in sign, so they will attract each other. Since both the balloon and the ceiling are insulators, charge can not flow from one to the other. The charge on the balloon is fixed on the balloon and the charge on the ceiling remains fixed to the ceiling. It just so happens that the<span> electrostatic force the ceiling exerts on the balloon is sufficient to hold the balloon in place (i.e. overcomes gravity, etc.).</span></span>

A charge q of magnitude 6.4 × 10^-19 coulombs moves from point A to point B in an electric field of 6.5 × 10^4 newtons/coulomb.
lana [24]

In this problem we have the electric field intensity E:

E = 6.5 × 10^4 newtons/coulomb

We have the magnitude of the load:

q = 6.4 × 10 ^{-19} coulombs

We also have the distance d that the load moved in a direction parallel to the field 1.2 × 10^{-2} meters.

We know that the electric potential energy (PE) is:

PE = qEd

So:

PE = (6.4 × 10^{-19})(6.5 × 10^4)(1.2 × 10^{-2})

PE = 5.0 x 10^{-16} joules

None of the options shown is correct.

‏A 50 - N x m torque acts on a wheel with a moment of inertia 150 kg x m² . If the wheel starts from rest , how long will it tak
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

t = 6.17 s

Explanation:

For a 1 revolution movement, \triangle \theta = 2\pi

Torque, \tau = 50 Nm

Moment of Inertia, I = 150 kg m^2

If the wheel starts from rest, w_{0} = 0 rad/s

The angular displacement of the wheel can be given by the formula:

\triangle \theta = \omega_0 t + 0.5 \alpha t^2................(1)

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration

\tau = I \alpha\\\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\alpha = 50/150\\\alpha = 0.33 rad/s^2

To get t, put all necessary parameters into equation (1)

2\pi = 0(t) + 0.5(0.33)t^2\\2\pi =0.5(0.33)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{4 \pi}{0.33} \\t^2 = 38.08\\t = 6.17 s
